Sgt Otter:So can I get a coupon if I drag in that attempted female suicide bomber we captured?

Deuteronomy 21:11-13

if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife.

Well, CFA serves a lot of bacon, and pig meat is expressly forbidden by Leviticus. 11:17 or something, I don't care enough to look it up.

Kurmudgeon:Biblical marriage? So that means the husbands showed up alone if their wives were menstruating?

Oh look, everyone is quoting the Old Testament out of context again, wow that's never happened here before.Unless you have a problem with Jews, you're kind of missing the point.

Haha! You think the OT doesn't count. See, this here is the problem with trying to turn an old Jewish war god into a world-wide god of love: all the baggage you can't expunge from the previous religion now that everyone can read. You guys really should have made up a new supreme being from scratch.

That sounds extremely farking close to what that dude in Ohio did with those girls. Considering Chick Fil-A explicitly says that they support "Biblical marriage", and the above quote unequivocally qualifies as a Biblical definition of marriage, then I'd have to assume that Chick-Fil-A fully supports what Ariel Castro did with his victims.

I love my Dad and Mom. That said, I'm fairly certain their marriage was one of convenience. They were both nearly 30, my Mom was anxious, and my Dad grew up with an Old Dad himself and didn't want to have his own kids do the same.

Once we progress as a f--king society "gay marriage": will be no better or worse than "straight marriage" - pobody's nerfect - but having seen friends go through "commitment ceremonies" in Michigan (Where we have a f--king gay marriage ban) who then travel/move to Canada/a gay marriage legal state afterwards... yeah, they're better than us straights right now. Because they have to go through so many f--king hoops just to know they can see the person they love in the ICU, for example.

HOWEVER, the tide is turning (took too damn long but better late than never y'know?)

I'll know we actually have marriage quality when married gay couples didn't have to navigate the web of Canadian residency/citizenship, don't have to work up crazy lawyer papers to make sure homophobic relatives don't get the last DNR call over a husband, didn't have to prove anything to the damn world, and - like my parents (who again, I do love) can just get married because their biological clocks are a-ticking and they want a family. HELL, if I get to go to a commitment ceremony without a (completely justified) political tirade and get to go to a proper marriage ceremony without the preaching-to-the- choir ranting and raving... I''m happy.

Then, I will lay down my sword. Which is really just my loud ass mouth and occasionally pen-to-paper and pen-to-checkbook.

Exactly. See, the Jews are smart about it, they've managed to convince everyone that it's not a religion, it's an ethnicity, or a race. So anyone criticizing Judaism gets labelled a bigot or a racist.

But Christians, they picked a horrible prequel for their mythology, and they haven't figured out how to move away from the religion aspect of it yet.

That is because Christians are self absorbed, hate-filled, rascist, homophobic assholes. Did I state that concisely and strait forward enough for everyone? Don't want any ambiguity. Assholes. Period.I know I had it forced on me for 18 years until I learned to think for myself.
